<p><span class="header2">Abstract:</span><br>
The purpose of this talk is to introduce Jython, and show off some interesting ways that Jython can be put to use.  Python frameworks, interesting integration with Java frameworks, and introspection of Java will be demoed.
</p><p>
The target audience is Java developers who wish to learn more about using Jython for various tasks such as using Jython for exploration and integration with existing Java code, using a mix of Java frameworks and Python frameworks, etc.
</p><p>
Potential topics to be covered (I say potential because I may find more interesting things to demo by the  time of the talk -- I feel like I over-specified my JavaOne talk...)
</p><p>
Django on Glassfish. Possibly with JMX integration? (So we can observe transactions, other mgmt stats, from a standard JMX console.) Outline how Django will be deployed going forward.
</p><p>
Help System in Jython including integration with Javadoc.
</p><p>
Integration with Java demo with Swing and cool Java graphics libraries like Alice (<a href="https://alice.dev.java.net">https://alice.dev.java.net</a>/) Mapping recursive generators to the Java 7 Fork-Join framework (something another Jython committer, Jim Baker, is working on)</p><p>

<p><span class="header2">About the Speaker:</span><br>
